After

A Thornhill homeowner was mid-way through finishing their basement when the inspector flagged the open-riser pine staircase as non-compliant for a finished occupancy. They needed closed risers and better materials.

## The scope

We installed new closed risers, replaced the pine treads with solid oak, and brought the handrail up to Ontario Building Code Section 3.4.6. Scope was $6,200 within our $5,400-$7,000 range.

## Timeline

Four days on site. Day one: demo. Days two and three: install closed risers and new treads. Day four: handrail and finish.
